This is one of my all time favorites for a quick go-to meal. I love the medley of sweet, salty and savory that comes through in this simple take on a Grilled Cheese sandwich. It is the perfect accompaniment to soup or salad for a hearty lunch or quick supper.
In this recipe the amounts of the ingredients are just suggestions. Slice your bread as thin or thick as you like, just make sure it’s thick enough to hold the ingredients. Add more or less jelly, meat or cheese to your personal taste. You can use Red Pepper or Hot Pepper Jelly – either is great, it just depends on your desire for heat or not. Grill bread lighter or darker to your taste. The beauty of this sandwich is you can make it exactly the way you like it. You won’t be disappointed.
Ingredients

2 Slices (or more to taste) Prosciutto
1 Tablespoon Butter
